Just looking through some threads on here on my way home. Had to brush off some cobwebs. Shame this place has become so quiet, although I can't really speak as I've been absent a long time, I remember it being hard to keep up with all the chat back then 😂

When the melody comes in, it's the moment that got me in to Psytrance.

This is almost completely beatless and psychedelic. Very very nice. A personal favourite.

I don't think I've resonated with a post recently as much as this one.
I've been trapped in this culture of quick fixes and listened properly to music less and less.
I've been trying more and more to make the effort to stop everything and just listen to music like I used to do but I'm doing this by connecting with my past loves, so I've no idea about recent albums that can draw you in on a journey. I'd love to know them though.

From the title, for some reason I thought this thread was going to be about people covering classic goa tunes.

The First Flight cover always gave me special feels.
But I was also always partial to the Dragonfly Covers

Today I realised that Jikkenteki has three albums I didn't know about 😲😳😲 early stuff that wasn't released before.
On bandcamp he has it all available with his three studio albums and a collection of compilation tracks. I bought it all again, even the ones I have already for easy streaming.

This is my first time back in a while. I used to be very very active here, but real life came and thwacked me on the behind. I made several reappearences and vowed to stay active and never did. The temptation to spend all my money on new expensive releases was/is always too strong and with a family to support it was hard to see all the amazing new music and parties in can't have or go to.
I've spent a lot of the last few years streaming music I'm not really into, but recently bought a new dedicated music player (not my phone) and better gear to better reconnect with my roots and listen to more psy and psychill uninterrupted. I have a huge back catalogue of almost everything from the early years through to about ten years ago. I might not be able to buy new stuff but I'm really enjoying my renaissance of classic goa.

Recently I have been listening to mostly other genres.
New music addiction is a bitch and I always want something new to listen to, even though when I revist my old favourites (mostly Psy, Goa, Psychill) I much prefer them. They have a deep psychedelic edge that I miss from a lot of other genres.
Ambient often has it but I can't always find other music that gives the same atmospheres.
Does anyone know of artists or labels that mix psy with other genres like Hip Hop, Dubstep, Rock etc.
I'm curious to know if I'd like it or not

Damn long time no see.
Unfortunately work and various life problems got in the way and I haven't log in in a long time. The thing is that I completely missed every psy related stuff in 2020.
Another problem is that I'm kinda broke so I stopped bying cds. Unfortunately following digital releases is exhausting since they are like...thousands.
So what did I miss in 2020? I'm interested in every style except Progressive and super cheesy Full On. I also like my Goa a bit less formulaic.
Bring it on!
Hi Ormion,
I think I am kind of in the same boat. I've not been able to keep up with releases and as real life has taken its toll and I can't afford to buy that much.
I started using bandcamp but Pystrance and Goa are often really expensive there. It's just too much to pay 10 Euros for a download. Because of this I started exploring other genres, there's a tonne of net labels on bandacamp that are selling their full discographies for next to nothing. I've now got thousands of albums to get through but it's mostly ambient, techno, chill hop, vaporwave.
Does anyone know of Psytrance lables selling their discographies for not that much. Doesn't need to be super cheap but I have other priorities for where my money goes at the moment.
Cheers

Can't quite believe It's been 25 YEARS since I released my first record!
To mark the occasion I have collected EVERY Digitalis 12", Album & Compilation track from 1995 to 2000 & put them into this 'Anniversary' release.
Includes Releases from 21:3, Indica, Matsuri, Roost Records, Dragonfly, Flying Rhino, Phantasm & Resonoise Records.
BONUS 1: A special 16 page PDF booklet chronicling my own journey through the underground UK Rave / Club / Trance Scene in the mid nineties. It truly was a golden era & I feel lucky to have been part of it.
BONUS 2: An (optional) extra download of unreleased demo tracks, old flyers & gig footage from '94-'95. Simply follow the instructions in the PDF booklet if you're interested in such artifacts from the scene ;)*
Cheers all!
Seb
* 'Bonus 2' is still being prepared / compiled, so may require a little patience

Some very nice sounding stuff their. I'll have to take a closer listen now I'm following on Bandcamp.

It took about a year of doing it every night. How I miss having that kind of time
Love something randomly amazing coming on the realising it's something you've heard many times before but not really listened.
-
Mostly these days I listen to music outside of the house: wife and daughter don't have the best taste, so I've had to digitise everything. Having a player that can play each album randomly is great as I end up listening to some fantastic albums I probably wouldn't have actively chosen to listen to. Years ago I compiled about 3000 CDs to FLAC and out them into a HDD. Unfortunately my wife decided she'd take this HDD and attach it to the cable box, deleting everything so she could watch utter tripe. One day I might find the time to re-rip everything.
-
I've missed this place. Seems like an age since I was active here. I came back a few years ago but disappeared again. I think it's been 5 years or so since I've been active here.
Coincidentally daughter turns five in a few weeks. My wife isn't overly maternal and the bulk of the child rearing has fallen on me. I don't get much free time to do what I want or listen to what I want. She loves dubstep and hates my downtempo boring stuff or weird trippy trancey stuff
I've been sick this year: diagnosed with sinus cancer over New year's but I had successful surgery last month and on the mend
I had tumors removed and the sinuses themselves reshaped as they were twisted. Now my sense of smell and taste are coming back. Didn't realize how much I stink
hope everyone is doing well ❣️

I remember those times. Hard to believe it was 15 years ago. Life has changed a lot. Hoping to come back a bit more often. Though I think I said that a few years ago too.
Hope everyone is doing fine.

It was only when I got Dragonfly Classix that I knew what the first track I heard that got me into psy was. I'd heard it at an after party and checked out the CD case but I was out of it and only remembered the picture of a dragonfly. That was enough to get me some CDs that startedy love affair.
This was the track BTW

Does the sample get faster and sound kind of metallic and scratchy?
I'm sure I've heard that recently, meaning I have it, but for the life of me and can't think who it is right now.
What are you doing right now?

Since getting married I haven't had much chance to listen to Goa on CD or through speakers in the house. I had to change to mobile listening and I don't think I did it very well for a while, then smartphones became a thing I ended up streaming music. It became mostly background.
I recently bought a dedicated DAP, full sized headphones and a high quality cable to connect the two (this thing is a lot thicker than I was expecting, I don't think it's meant for headphones 😆) and I'm rediscovering all my old favourites.
